Yes, I planted a bog next to my pond in NC - They devoured tons of mosquitoes, spiders, gnats, flies and other insects. Heres a good article: http://mysite.verizon.net/elgecko1989/Darlingtonia_californica.html

Probably. Both male and female mosquitoes feed on plant nectar so they would likely be attracted to the nectar in the pitcher

They will eat any bug that is attracted to it and yes I have seen it get mosquitoes

I only used it once. It was filled with insects but don't know if they were mosquitoes

No idea. It survived in Pennsylvania and is now thriving in California. May need to bring it indoors during the cold winter while it is small.

I don't have my bat house hung yet, so don't have a clue. Am waiting for my son to have a rest from farming to nail it up for me. It won't be as close as I'd like it, but have been told that the bats fly far enough to eat bugs that it won't matter. I hope that is right!!

They eat other bugs. They're not to keep as pets. A hundred or so hatch out of each case. When they hatch you let them go into a yard or park or some green-space outside.

I don't live in an area where we have green head flies, so sorry I can't answer your question. I can tell you that when I use this product, I am not bothered or bitten by any insect. I highly recommend them.

I don't know if they're attacted to it but if you put it in their path, they will eat it. We've found 3 dead voles, but strategic placement of the bait seems to be important. Voles don't like to stray from their well worn paths of travel.

These are not the Japanese ladybugs. My problem was that I used to use insecticide for my yard because of fleas. When I got the ladybugs they flew away. I have not used insecticide for the past two years and I an going to try to get more ladybugs. They are great at eating aphids and other insects.

Yes. It can't hurt, but all those pesky mosquitoes will. I've seen larvae in the most obscure and protected of areas -- don't care how covered the container might be. These bits are easy, and they do seem to work... for about 3 years now. (My worry is that the local critters will eventually develop a resistance. But go for it now!)

Vey good question. I have many set up that would come in contact with mosquitos. None had any visable ones on there. I check close to protect the garden

I've quit using our SkeeterVac, but there is a bait that's specifically for the Asian Tiger *&%$#(&! :) Problem is, there are those other blasted mosquitos, too, so you're only going to get the one kind of mosquito to which the bait is geared. What wore me out was the constant hauling of the propane tank, plus it dawned on me that we'd need at least 2 SkeeterVacs going all the time just to use the two different baits for two species.

I live in Louisiana as well and we take it into some of the most aligator infested waters in the state! you can see them basking on the banks and floating everywhere. as long as you dont mess with them or throw food in the water, they would rather flee than attack your boat. be careful if you swim in those waters! but your boat should be fine.

Don't eat them, and don't microwave them until they melt or start to steam. Probably not a good idea to leave them in the car on a 100F day either, but like Richard M. said, they tend to stick Prop 65 on everything in Cali. It's just a warning that there might (might!) be something potentially toxic/poisonous (i.e. plastic, neoprene, almost anything you shouldn't eat) in them. Don't gnaw on them and you should be fine.

I don't know for sure. I only bought it for mice. I'm sure if they ingested enough it might work. But I'm not sure if they would eat it.

Are you sure that they're mosquitoes rather than some type of other bug such as fruit flies? Generally, mosquitoes would only be attracted to fresh blood (food) or standing water (to lay their eggs). We have two of the Soil Savers that we alternate with, and I've found that if I keep a good carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, the compost never smells bad or is overly attractive to bugs. I try to keep it at a 25-30 parts carbon (dry leaves, newspapers, straw, peat moss, pine needles) to 1 part nitrogen (veggie/fruit scraps, fresh lawn clippings, chicken manure, pulled weeds).

Mosquitos aren't attracted to UV light, the only thing that would attract them I 'think' is the lure, but then it would only be incidental that they happen to fly through the grill and die.

I don't think so. The screen is fairly coarse. That said, I haven't seen any evidence of mosquitos (I live in CT) so it may not be a concern.
